Here is the pattern review:
Fabric: Tweed – C&H Maidstone
Pattern: Size 8, Burda 8123
Notions: zipper (14 inc) + matching tread
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? I think yes. I would make a bit fitted next time
Were the instructions easy to follow?
This was my 1st ever dress so I would say this is a great beginner’s pattern and one I always come back to it.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
No alterations needed for me. I am lucky that most patterns dont require alterations.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I do recommend this pattern if ,you like me, have an athletic shape. Its also simple and easy to sew.
Time to complete: 3 hours
Wear again? Yes and will sew it again.
Total Cost : Used 1,20 metres - £4 metre
Review: I love this pattern for its simplicity. Its also great for layering!
